the closing of theCharlotte location of Flat Rock Grille. The
significant decrease in sales and traffic at the Ballantyne area
restaurant led to the decision to close this store and to refocus the
group's resources on the Hickory and Asheville locations.
"There are absolutely no plans to close our other two locations in
Hickory and Asheville," said Andy Walker, CEO of WR Hospitality
Group. "We appreciate the years of success we have enjoyed in this
market and especially our Charlotte patrons, but the down economy has
had a significant impact on our sales at this particular location."
Any Gift Cards purchased at the Charlotte Flat Rock Grille will be
honored at either the Hickory or Asheville locations. TheHickory and
Asheville restaurants will introduce new lunch and dinner menus over
the next few weeks, and both locations also will begin serving brunch
items on Sundays. These locations will also offer special event menus
for events in the private dining rooms.
Flat Rock Grille is an upscale-casual seafood and steak restaurant
with several locations throughout the Southeast. WR Hospitality Group
owns and operates two Flat Rock Grille restaurants in Western North
Carolina. For more information about Flat Rock Grille, visit www.flatrockgrille.com
